Perseus with the head of Medusa (Cellini’s Perseus), Benvenuto Cellini. .High cuality resin
Cellini’s Perseus shows that with art, beauty can be found even in the most atrocious acts. Perseus shows us the head of Medusa while at his feet lies the rest.

One of the many prides of the city of Florence, the statue can be admired in the public square, being considered a political allegory about the victory of Cosimo I de Medici over the Republicans.

Apparently, Cellini (also a writer, and author of a succulent autobiography) used one of his assistants as a model:

I only had a few bad apprentices, among whom there was a very beautiful one; he was the son of a meretriz called Gambetta. I used that boy to copy him, because we have no other books that teach us art, but nature.
We can clearly see how the classic is abandoned.
There is contortionism, violence, even eroticism here… it is clear that the Renaissance had evolved into something more complex.
It is represented in the manner of the Renaissance classics, but it is already obvious that the aim is to mark a “style”, a personality of the artist.
